<p>First of all, thanks to everyone who worked to get us to 0.0.2!  GNU
MediaGoblin is much further along than we'd even hoped it would be by
this point. We're especially grateful to those of you who have become
regular fixtures (dare we say goblinistas?) - in particular Jef van
Schendel (our new graphic designer!) who's made 0.0.2 look great, Rob
Myers and Matt Lee at FooCorp for their support, everyone for their
feedback, and a ton of people sending in patches (Aleksandar Micovic,
Jakob Kramer, Joar Wandborg, Bernhard Keller, Elrond from Samba-TNG,
Sebastian Spaeth, Aaron Williamson, Daniel Neel (on docs), and of
course Chris Webber and Will Kahn-Greene).  The influx of contributors
here are what has made this month's release of GNU MediaGoblin
(our first month of public development!) an awesome one.</p>

<p>In short, it's starting to look like the real deal.  We have basic
galleries with pagination, email verification, feeds and friends.
There's also lots of nitty gritty stuff like MongoDB data migrations,
<a href="http://celeryq.org/">Celery</a> integration, and etc that you can ask
Chris to explain to you in extravagant detail if you
<a href="/pages/join.html">join us on IRC</a>.  But pictures speak louder than words,
particularly in a software project related to media publishing.  And
so, behold!</p>

<p>The quality of work that's gone into 0.0.2 makes meeting our
lofty-yet-humble <a href="/news/goals-for-our-first-alpha-release.html">0.1.0
goals</a> look quite achievable.  The past month's work on 0.0.2 shows
that we can do this, but that there's a ton of work left to do.  Which
leaves us
<a href="http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/social-mediagoblin/2011-05/msg00057.html">looking
forward</a> <a href="http://bugs.foocorp.net/versions/show/3">to
0.0.3</a>.  There's a lot of work to do, but also a lot of fun to be
had doing so.  Sound up your alley?  Why don't you <a href="/pages/join.html">join us</a>?</p>
